Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 969

Even if the company had started to stumble, they used to have the backing of the Lancaster family, their grandmother's deep connections, and eventually Lillian's algorithm to catch them. The only reason the family was shattered was because of this mistress.

He had seen the Lancaster family at the Lillionix Press Conference on the livestream. It was painfully obvious that the Lancasters were now deeply entangled in business with Lillian. Those privileges used to belong exclusively to the Mercers, leaving the Lancasters in the dust. Now, there were even whispers that the Lancasters were preparing to relocate their headquarters to Northwyn, clearly riding on Lillian's coattails.

"The Mercer family is in this mess thanks to you and Ms. Ward," Brandon sneered. "The shares you hold used to belong to my mother and Lillian. When they were in charge, this company never faced disasters like this."

Brandon's words seemed to flip a switch in Colin's brain.

He suddenly asked, "Dad, what if we returned the shares Lillian gave up? That would give us a perfectly legitimate excuse to mend fences with her. If we just offer empty words, she's never going to believe us. But if we show some real sincerity and bring something to the table, we might actually have a shot. What do you think?"

Martin hesitated.

Colin made a solid point. But he had already transferred all of Lillian's old shares to Sabrina and Bella. He glanced at the mother and daughter. He was banking on Bella's massive investment soon, so demanding the shares back right now felt incredibly awkward.

If it weren't for the promise of a multi-billion dollar windfall, he wouldn't have hesitated for a second to strip Sabrina of those shares.

Brandon, lacking any filter, just laughed. "Dad, it was easy to hand them out, but good luck getting them back now. Honestly, looking at this mess, I'm starting to see the perks of staying single."

With that, Brandon stood up. Tired of the conversation, he headed upstairs to his room.
